Little My from Moominvalley



I received two new postcards with another of Moomin Trolls. Here is a little bit of her story from wiki:

Little My (Swedish: Lilla My, Finnish: Pikku Myy) is a character in the Moomins series of books by Tove Jansson. She first appears in the fourth book, The Exploits of Moominpappa. She is a small, determined and fiercely independent Mymble. When she wants something done, she does it straight away. She is very aggressive, mischievous to a fault and totally disrespectful, but can be a good friend when she wants to. She has a brash personality. She is the Mymble's Daughter's younger sister. She is eventually adopted by the Moomin family.

The name Little My originated from the Greek letter μ (Mu); in Swedish, [my] is the phonetic pronunciation of the word "my".

The popularity of the character has led to the personal name My being borne by more than 3000 women and girls in Sweden.

Moomins #3

And to folow along, we received our third Moomins card. It is very sweet card that has Moomins designs on the back. The card reads: "Life works in cooperation! The friends pick some snack for each other!" And the sender (AKS) was so sweet to put on a stamp with Moomin! So cuuute! Thank you! I received it through the June RR.

Moomins ##1 and 2

I am so happy that we were able to receive two cards with Moomins!! They are called "Moomie-trolls" in my country. I think all of the books are translated and I used to read them and watch cartoons. I really love them! I am surprised that Disney have not picked up on Moomins or Karlsson! They were so popular in my childhood! My daughters and I are trying to start a Moomins' collection. SO, if you have any cards for trade, we would be very happy to trade any of ours with you!

Here is smart and wise Moomi-Mama!
